W. D. MosEs & Co., 914 Main Street. -
Music must be on the ascending scale if
we are to judge by the number of pros
porous houses which are engaged in the
sale of instruments dedicated to in
vokingt the divine muse. And here are
our friends W. ID. Moses e Co., who have
so long and successfully catered to the
public taste in these matters. What
temptations they offer as manufacturers
agents for Hardman and Emerson pianos
and Kimball organs. OF course they
represent other makes. but these will
do. What a magnificent present for wife,
daughter, sister, or friend one of these
instruments would make. TO musical
friend or relation whose poverty unhGp-
ply cuts them of from their greatest re-
creation and enjoyment the unexpected
gift OF piano or organ would confer n
bliss that would be happily reflected upon
the donor Give this enterprising and
reliable house a call.

And now, in closing this chapter,
dear reader, let us give you what will
prove to many the most valuable piece
of information we have yet impaired.
The weather has been most productive
of colds. just enter a church on Sun
day, or any other crowded assemblage,
and what q continual. distressing, and
annoying amount Of coughing is heard
on every side. Now, we know a good
remedy for q cough, and that IS the
CHEROKEE CoUGH-DRoPs. They give
speedy relief. They can be found at the
drug and grocery stores, and, with such
potent remedy, we can all clear our
throats for Christmas.
